Be it known that Ismon NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York city, borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Closures for Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

The object ofmy invention is to provide an improved'closure for receptacles, such as tin cans, which may be cheaply made, readily and cheaply' attached to cans, and which Wlll provide a. pouring outlet for use.

My invention comprises a closure havinga centrally disposed threaded neck provided With an open inner end and a closed outer end, a laterally disposed web projecting.

from the inner end of the neck, and a. flange raised from the plane of said web for attachment to theneck of a container.

1 Reference is had to the accompanying drawingsforming part hereof, wherein,

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved closure;

Fig. 2 is a partly sectional view of a portionof a receptacle and the closure there.- over;.

F ig. 3 is a similar view showing the closure on the receptacle in position to be attached thereto;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged secti'on illustrating the closure fastened to the neck of a receptacle, the section being taken on the line MinFig5- Fig. 5 is a lan view of Fig. 4; and

Figs. .6 and are sectional details of a modification.

Similar numerals of reference indicate correspondin parts in the several views.

At 1.is in icated the. neck portion of my improved closure which is tubular inform having its inner end 1 open and its outer end closed by'transverse web 1", the exteriorof the neck being threaded at 2 to receive a correspondingly threaded cap 3. .From the inner open end of neck 1 a web. 4 extends of said web the metal is raised in a wall at 5 around the neck, which wall is provided 3 said flange is curved or bent downwardly in the direction of the plane of web {1, in po-. sition to be rolled or seamed to the neckof the receptacle, whereas in the modification in Fig. 6 the flange '6 extends laterally subtop the neck 1 is stantially parallel to the plane of said web. My improved closure may bema'deby drawlng the neck 1 from a disk of suitable metal and rolling the thread 2 on the neck and then with suitable diesv the raised wall 5 and flange 6 may be made'by striking up the metal in suitable dies.

My improved closure is adapted to fit within an opening having an out-turned neck 7' on thetop 8 of a re ceptacle 9, such as a tinoan, whereby'the Web 4, the inner portion of neck 1 and the out-turned wall 5 .of the closure wi'l'l fit within said neck and the flange 6 will rest thereon as shown in Figs. 3 and 6; After the parts are assembled in'thedas't named position the flange 6 may be secured to neck'7 by a suitable seaming tool having aroller '10 rotated within the space between neck 1 and wall 5 o erating with outward pressure,- and a rol er 11 bearing upon and rotating on the flange 6 will roll down saidfiange outside of cab neck 7, when'said rollers are rotated around.

the closure, in a well/known manner of operating such tools. The closure seamed to the neck of the can is illustrated in Figs. 4

and 7 whereby a hermetically tight seam may be effected. The top 8 of the receptacle is recessed at 8 around neck 7, within which recess the neck 7 ex nds outwardly, whereby when the closur iiis attached to the can level of top 8 and rojects but a short distance therebeyond neck 1 and the on rned Wall .5 of the do sure-afi'ords a space to receive the cap 3.

Having-thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 1. A closure for a container comprising an imperforate threaded neck provided with a puncturable outer end, said neck having a laterally disposed web and an outwardly disposed wall spaced from and surrounding the neck, said wall having an outwardly disposed pliable flange, said wall and flange being adapted to receive the out-turned neck of a container therebetween, and a threlaiaded cap to detachably fit said threaded nec 2. A closure for a container comprising an ilnperforate neck having an open inner end and a closed puncturable outer end, a laterallydisposed web extending from the open end of the neck and a bendable flange at'the margin of the web raised from the plane of the web and'surrounding the'neck, the outer closed end of the neck-extending beyond the lateral web.

3. A closure for a container comprising an imperfiprate neck having an open inner end and a closed puncturable outer end, a

bendable flange projecting outwardly from said wall.

4;. A closure for a container comprising a threaded imperforate neck having an open inner end and a closed puncturable outer end, a laterally disposed web extending from said open end of the neck, a wall raised from said web" surrounding and spaced from the neck, and a bendable flange extending outwardly from said wall.

5. The combination of va container having a top provided with an opening and an outwardly extending neck, a closure in said neck comprising a centrally disposed neck having a laterally extending web provided with an outwardly extending wall surrounding the last-named neck, said wall having a flange, said wall and flange receiving the container top neck therebetween in frictional air-tight enga ement.
